“I hope you can forgive me for the sake of the child in my belly.”
Of course, Yu Lingyu was afraid of the Old Master.
But which elderly person didn’t wish for more grandchildren?
He couldn’t kill her, who was pregnant with the Lu family’s blood, could he?
Old Master Lu was well aware of Yu Lingyu’s calculations. However, this matter was caused by Tan Shu. What could he do as an elder?
Was he really going to drag her into the hospital and force her to have an abortion?
Old Master Lu remained silent. He walked up to Lu Tanshu and asked, “Do you want Ah Man or Yu Lingyu? Make your choice.”
“All Man”
Lu Tanshu answered without hesitation.
“At least you’ve come to your senses. You’ve wronged Ah Man for so many years, and now you’re trying to give her justice. You know how to deal with this.”
Old Master Lu said clearly, word byword.
“Yes.”
Lu Tanshu had just taken a step.
Old Madam Lu protected Yu Lingyu behind her and said, “What do you mean by Tan Shu wronged All Man? Old man, 1 think you’re confused! You couldn’t even remember the past! It was clearly Shen Man who had an affair and wanted to elope with a wild man, tarnishing the reputation of our Lu family!”
“It was Tan Shu who wronged Ah Man first, that’s why All Man was so disheartened and wanted to leave!”
Old Master Lu shouted and interrupted her.
Old Madam Lu was stunned.
Lu Tanshu was also stunned when he heard his father’s words.
But then, tears of regret flowed out of his eyes.
That’s right.
Back then, he was indeed instigated by someone to misunderstand All Man for cheating on him.
In a daze, he had slept with another woman, shortly after Ah Man had given birth.
Later on, he learned the truth…
But what could it change?
Once unfaithful, a hundred times useless.
Ah Man had never forgiven him again.
She stayed with the Lu family and announced to the public that she was the one who cheated on him. She had to bear all the infamy in order to protect All Zhi and Beicheng.
She didn’t want her child to experience their parents’ separation at a young age.
She couldn’t bear having her children suffer the cold shoulder of a stepmother.
She even made him swear that he would never mention the past again.
He had let her down…
In this life, in the next life, for all eternity…
He owed her.
Every time he heard his mother or others accuse her of having an affair, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife, but he could only feign indifference.
At this moment.
His father spoke the truth on his behalf.
The heavy burden that had pressed on his heart for over twenty years was finally lifted.
Old Madam Lu snapped back to her senses and scolded, “You’re really old and muddle-headed. You’re slandering your own son just to protect Shen Man?”
“I didn’t slander Tan Shu. Everything 1 said was true.”
Old Master Lu said the last word.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Zhi standing at the door, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.
His breathing hitched.
“All Zhi…”
Everyone looked at the door in unison.
Lu Zhi had one hand in his pocket and his expression was as cold as ice as he said, “Continue. Why didn’t you stop saying? How long do you want to hide it from me?”
Lu Tanshu thumped down to the ground with a thud. With a trembling voice, he said, “All Zhi, I’m the one who let your mother down. It wasn’t her affair, it was me! 1 didn’t give her enough trust, so someone took advantage of me and did something to let her down. She only compromised for so many years for the sake of you two brothers.”
“I’ve let you down. I’ve let your mother down. I’m a bastard.”
Lu Tanshu raised his hand and slapped himself in the face repeatedly.
Old Madam Lu’s heart ached for her son.
She pulled Yu Lingyu and walked forward, grabbing his hands from both sides.
“Tan Shu, what nonsense are you talking about? You shouldn’t take the blame on yourself in order to absolve Shen Man.” Old Madam Lu sobbed as she tried to persuade him.
When Lu Zhi heard this, he threw a stack of documents over. “I’ve already investigated what happened back then. Grandma, what Father said is true. I’m just waiting for them to tell me.”
Unfortunately, he didn’t expect…
It was under such dramatic conditions that they finally told the truth.
Lu Zhi really wanted to sneer and punch his father a few more times.
Old Madam Lu didn’t believe it and picked up the documents to read.
After she finished reading, she still audaciously said, “Tan Shu misunderstood Shen Man. Isn’t it because she was indecent and hooked up with a strange man? If she stayed in the Lu family obediently, who would have misunderstood her? Besides, what’s wrong with a man having a few lovers? Wasn’t this normal? She couldn’t take it and insisted on pushing Tan Shu away! Then she can’t blame Tan Shu!”
Old Madam Lu’s words were shocking.
Jiang Yining chuckled and directly tore into her, “Grandma, since you’re so open-minded, why don’t you introduce a few mistresses to Grandpa so that they can serve your husband with you?”
Old Master Lu blushed.
Old Madam Lu scolded, “Is there any place for you to speak here? Shut up!”
“Now that the truth is out, but you’re still shamelessly refusing to admit your mistake. 1 really admire your shamelessness.” Jiang Yining mocked, “While others say, ‘Having an elder at home is like having a treasure.’ In your case, it’s like having a troublemaker, stirring up trouble from time to time. You’re afraid the whole family will live a peaceful and stable life!”
“Jiang Yining! I’ll tear your mouth apart!”
Old Madam Lu rushed forward angrily, wanting to use violence on her.
Old Master Lu blocked her way. “Don’t embarrass yourself! Do you still want me to forcefully send you out of the Lu family?!”
Old Madam Lu paused and looked at him.
After two seconds…
Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, “Send me away. Since I only think for the good of this family, and none of you appreciate it, what else is there to say? 1 might as well die!”
Old Master Lu frowned, disgust flashing across his eyes.
He really didn’t understand.
When did his wife become so unreasonable?
He turned his head and looked at Shen Man as he said, “Ah Man, don’t worry. You’ve suffered so much for Ah Zhi and Beicheng. As long as I’m here, no one will be able to shake your position in this family.”
This statement indirectly ousted Yu Lingyu.
Yu Lingyu’s eyes were filled with panic as she quietly walked to Old Madam Lu’s side.
“Old Madam…”
Old Madam Lu suddenly became energetic. “With me around, who dares to chase Lingyu out! Let me tell you, if Lingyu Is not kept today, I’ll hang myself at the entrance of the Lu family with her!”
Yu Lingyu bit her lower lip and silently cried.
Old Master Lu frowned and said, “Tan Shu, chase them out!”
Wasn’t it just a threat?
He didn’t go for it!
Lu Tanshu had had enough of his mother’s unreasonable antics and Yu Lingyu’s scheming.
He took a step forward and was about to send them out by force.
However, Shen Man said, “Wait, 1 have something to say.”
Lu Tanshu’s heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
“Ah Man, I’ve made you suffer today. This kind of thing will never happen again. I promise!”
He still wanted to salvage the situation.
But Shen Man didn’t want to…
She had already made do with it for more than twenty years. She was no longer young.
How many more twenty years could she make do with it?
Shen Man clenched her hands and said calmly, “Tan Shu, the children have grown up and can accept reality. Let’s get a divorce..”
